About Us

Established in 1952, George Brooke funeral directors offer compassionate funeral planning services to the North Kirklees area, including Dewsbury, Batley, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Ossett. The office is open all week and 9am-2.30pm on Saturday.

A family-run and owned business, the George Brooke team promises to take the time to listen to a family’s requirements. Helen and Judith Brooke pride themselves on giving the bereaved help with all their needs during a difficult time, allowing them to plan the ideal bespoke funeral for their loved one.

George Brooke funeral directors work with families from all religious backgrounds and can cater to faith-specific needs, such as dedicated washing facilities for Hindu and Sikh families. They also have civil celebrants and humanist officiants for non-religious funeral services.

A chapel of rest is available for use at both the Dewsbury and Mirfield premises, as well as an area for holding funeral teas following ceremonies. George Brooke can also offer a hearse and three funeral vehicles for hire.

    Thank you so much to all the staff at George Brooke, everyone was so kind, supportive and professional during this sad and difficult time. The staff were on hand to guide us through each and every step and we had the perfect day to say goodbye to our dear mum.

  • 5 David Gittos 10th Oct 2023

    George Brooke ltd did my mums funeral on Friday 6th October and I couldn’t have asked for better service. Every detail was delt with implicitly and have always been consulted about every detail. 

    Nothing was too much for the staff but mainly delt with both Helen & Dee who couldn’t do enough for us.

    I must also thank the drivers for all their help both before the funeral ( taking mum away) and after with the service car. They all made our day go so well.

    Thanks again to all.

    An exceptional company.

  • 5 Michaela Nutchey 7th Oct 2023

    Judith,Dee and the team were absolutely amazing. We felt like we were dealing with friends rather than a funeral directors and nothing was too much trouble. 
    We feel mum was treated with dignity and her funeral went without a hitch. 
    I can’t recommend these guys enough and will definitely use them for all future family funerals.

    Exemplary service. They took the pain away from our family, having to deal with things, which allowed us to grieve. Everyone we dealt with treated my mum with the care and respect that she deserved. My thanks to you all.

  • 5 Caron Aspinall 29th Sep 2023

    You dealt with us with a quiet professionalism at a very difficult time for myself and gave me the time to grieve by dealing mainly with my daughter after the shock of my sudden loss. Over this past year you have given an exemplary service to our family with 5 funerals so we owe you all at George Brooks a big thank you.

  • 5 Pauline Ormerod 16th Sep 2023

    Excellent service from start to finish of the process. They are very professional but also have the human touch which you need at the difficult time. They listen to what you would like and steer you in the right direction. They keep in touch up to the day of funeral and also follow up after. Would highly recommend. 

  • 5 Stuart Rushworth 15th Sep 2023

    Helen and the team were fabulous from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail exemplary.
    They took all the stress out of the organisation of my uncle's service & burial and left family and friends time to celebrate a life well lived.

  • 5 Jacqui Smithson 4th Sep 2023

    From the first meeting with Helen, as a family we were made to feel completely at ease. Helen was so warm and caring and extremely thorough as she talked us through everything we needed to know.
    The follow up with Dee and the rest of the staff has been equally caring and professional. We have only high praise and can't thank you enough for making this really difficult time a little more bearable.
    Dorothy, Susie, Jacqui and Chris.

  • 5 Tracey Jane Duncan 4th Sep 2023

    George Brooks made a very difficult time bearable. They were professional and so helpful and friendly. Every step has been dealt with in a calm and lovely way. I would recommend them to anyone going through a bereavement.

  • 5 Carole Fitzpatrick 3rd Sep 2023

    George Brooke have taken care of both my Dads and now recently my Mums funerals. They are a lovely family organisation that are completely filled with love and compassion.
    I can't thank them enough for excellent service and care throughout both services. I would recommend they take care of your loved ones when the sad time comes without doubt.
    Thank you again for your excellent care.
